Group Formation:
The four animals that belong to a group have a common characteristic, they all have a hump or a lump on their back.

Explanation:
Bullock, camel, ass and donkey all have a hump or a lump on their back, while giraffe does not. Giraffe is the only animal among the given options that has a long neck and spots on its body. It does not have a hump or a lump on its back like the other four animals. Therefore, option B (Giraffe) does not belong to the group formed by the other four animals.

To determine the odd one out, let's look at the pairs and see if there is a common pattern among them.
1. **YB**: 
   - Y is the 25th letter of the alphabet.
   - B is the 2nd letter of the alphabet.
   - The difference between their positions is (25 - 2 = 23).
2. **WZ**:
   - W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet.
   - Z is the 26th letter of the alphabet.
   - The difference between their positions is (26 - 23 = 3).
3. **AD**:
   - A is the 1st letter of the alphabet.
   - D is the 4th letter of the alphabet.
   - The difference between their positions is (4 - 1 = 3).
4. **IK**:
   - I is the 9th letter of the alphabet.
   - K is the 11th letter of the alphabet.
   - The difference between their positions is (11 - 9 = 2).
5. **MP**:
   - M is the 13th letter of the alphabet.
   - P is the 16th letter of the alphabet.
   - The difference between their positions is (16 - 13 = 3).
Most pairs have a common difference of odd number  between their positions in the alphabet. The pair **IK** has a difference of 2 (even), making it the odd one out.
So, the answer is:
4. **IK**

Grouping Numbers

The four options that form a group are:

- Option A: 5, 13
- Option B: 7, 17
- Option D: 19, 21
- Option E: 19, 23

Explanation

These options have a common pattern or similarity that makes them different from option C.

- Option A: Both numbers are prime and have a difference of 8.
- Option B: Both numbers are prime and have a difference of 10.
- Option D: Both numbers are odd and have a difference of 2.
- Option E: Both numbers are prime and have a difference of 4.

However, option C does not fit into any of these patterns. The numbers 3 and 21 do not share any obvious similarity in terms of their factors, properties, or differences. Therefore, option C is the odd one out and does not belong to the group formed by the other options.

Conclusion

By analyzing the patterns and similarities among the given numbers, we can identify the odd one out and determine which options form a group. This type of question tests our ability to recognize patterns and make logical connections between numbers.

    Shrew
  • c)
    Ibex
  • d)
    Gazel
  • e)
    Sheep
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Vertex Academy answered
  • Tapir, Shrew, Ibex, and Sheep are all correctly spelled names of animals.
  • Gazel is a misspelling of the word Gazelle, which is the correct name of the animal.
Thus, Gazel does not belong to the group because it is a misspelling, while the other options are correctly spelled.

Grouping of States

The four states that belong to a group are:

1. Maharashtra
2. Mumbai
3. Manipur
4. Mizoram

These states all have the letter 'M' as the first letter of their name.

The state that does not belong to this group is:

b) Myanmar

Explanation:

Myanmar is not a state of India. It is a country in Southeast Asia. The other options are all states in India, and four of them have the letter 'M' as the first letter of their name. Therefore, option 'B' does not belong to the group.

Choose the odd one
  • a)
    Maharashtra
  • b)
    Orissa
  • c)
    Gujrat
  • d)
    Madhya Pradesh
  • e)
    Tamil nadu
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

The odd one out in the given options is Madhya Pradesh (option D).

Explanation:
1. Maharashtra (option A): Maharashtra is a state located in the western part of India. It is known for its vibrant culture, rich history, and diverse landscapes. It is the second-most populous state in India and has Mumbai as its capital.

2. Orissa (option B): Orissa, also known as Odisha, is a state located in the eastern part of India. It is known for its ancient temples, vibrant festivals, and beautiful coastline. Bhubaneswar is the capital of Orissa.

3. Gujarat (option C): Gujarat is a state located in the western part of India. It is known for its rich cultural heritage, historical sites, and thriving industries. Ahmedabad is the largest city and the former capital of Gujarat.

4. Madhya Pradesh (option D): Madhya Pradesh is a state located in central India. It is known for its diverse wildlife, historical monuments, and architectural marvels. Bhopal is the capital of Madhya Pradesh.

5. Tamil Nadu (option E): Tamil Nadu is a state located in the southern part of India. It is known for its ancient temples, classical music and dance forms, and beautiful beaches. Chennai is the capital of Tamil Nadu.

Reasoning:
The odd one out in this list is Madhya Pradesh (option D) because it is the only state that is not located on the coastal regions of India. Maharashtra, Orissa, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu are all states that have coastlines along the Arabian Sea or the Bay of Bengal. Madhya Pradesh, on the other hand, is a landlocked state located in the heart of India, surrounded by other states.

Conclusion:
In summary, Madhya Pradesh is the odd one out in the given options because it is the only landlocked state among Maharashtra, Orissa, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu, which are all coastal states.

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Identifying the Odd One Out: Months of the Year

Explanation:
The four months that belong to a certain group are May, July, December, and January. These months are odd-numbered months, meaning that they have an odd number of letters in their names. May has three letters, July has five letters, December has eight letters, and January has seven letters. On the other hand, June has four letters, which makes it the only even-numbered month in the list, and thus the odd one out.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B) June.

Sahana Nair answered
Grouping of Numbers

In this question, we need to identify the four numbers that are similar in some way, and the remaining one that does not belong to that group. Let's analyze the given numbers:

a) 25 = 5^2
b) 81 = 9^2
c) 169 = 13^2
d) 144 = 12^2
e) 343 = 7^3

The numbers in options a-d are perfect squares, whereas option e is a perfect cube. Hence, option e is the number that does not belong to the group of perfect squares.

Therefore, the correct answer is option E.

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Vertex Academy answered
  • Bullock, Ass, Camel, and Donkey are all domesticated animals commonly used for carrying loads, transportation, or agricultural work.
  • Giraffe, on the other hand, is a wild animal and is not domesticated or used for such purposes.
Thus, Giraffe does not belong to the group because it is a wild animal, unlike the others which are domesticated.

    2744
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Vertex Academy answered
To identify the odd one out among the numbers provided, we need to look at their characteristics:

The odd one out is 2744 because it is the only one that is not a perfect square of an integer. The others are all perfect squares of whole numbers, while 2744 is not.

    Mustard
  • c)
    Rice
  • d)
    Wheat ​
  • e)
    Barley
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sreemoyee Dey answered
To determine which one of the options does not belong to the group, we need to identify the common characteristic that the other four options share. Let's analyze each option and identify their characteristics:

a) Bazra
b) Mustard
c) Rice
d) Wheat
e) Barley

Bazra, Rice, Wheat, and Barley are all types of grains, commonly used as food sources. They all belong to the group of cereals, which are staple crops around the world. These four options share the characteristic of being grains used for human consumption.

On the other hand, Mustard does not fit into this group. Mustard is not a grain; it is a plant in the Brassica family, mainly cultivated for its seeds and leaves. The seeds are used to produce mustard condiments, while the leaves can be used as a vegetable, often known as mustard greens. Unlike the other options, Mustard does not belong to the category of grains or cereals.

Therefore, the option that does not belong to the group is b) Mustard.

Grouping Sports

Group: Indoor Sports
a) Table tennis
c) Badminton
e) Volleyball

Group: Outdoor Sports
d) Cricket

Does not belong to any group:
b) Chess

Explanation:
The given five options are of different sports. On analyzing the options, we can see that four of them belong to a certain group based on their category, while one option does not belong to any group.

Table tennis, badminton, and volleyball are indoor sports that are played in a closed space. They require a smaller playing area and are less affected by external factors like wind and rain. Hence, they form a group of indoor sports.

Cricket, on the other hand, is an outdoor sport that is played on a large field. It is affected by external factors like weather conditions and wind, hence forms a group of outdoor sports.

Chess, however, is not a sport that can be categorized as indoor or outdoor. It is a board game that can be played both indoors and outdoors. Hence, it does not belong to any group.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B, Chess.

Ashish Iyer answered
Incorrect options:
a) Ram Naik
b) S.C. Jamir
c) M.N. Vohra
d) J.P. Rajkhowa

Correct option:
e) T.R. Zeliang

Explanation:
In this question, we need to identify the option that does not belong to the group formed by the other four options. Let's analyze each option:

a) Ram Naik: This is the former Governor of Uttar Pradesh, a political position. It is possible that the other options also represent individuals in political positions.

b) S.C. Jamir: This is the former Governor of Odisha and other states. Like option a, it represents an individual in a political position.

c) M.N. Vohra: This is the former Governor of Jammu and Kashmir. Again, it represents an individual in a political position.

d) J.P. Rajkhowa: This is the former Governor of Arunachal Pradesh. As with the previous options, it represents an individual in a political position.

e) T.R. Zeliang: This option does not fit with the group formed by the other four options. It is important to note that T.R. Zeliang is not a Governor; he is a politician from Nagaland who served as the Chief Minister of Nagaland. Therefore, he does not belong to the group of former Governors mentioned in the other options.

Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, option e) T.R. Zeliang is the one that does not belong to the group formed by the other four options.

Tarun Unni answered
Grouping the words:

To solve this question, we need to identify a certain way in which four of the given words form a group. Let's analyze each word and see if we can find any similarities or patterns.

- Doll: A doll is a toy that represents a human or an animal. It is typically made of cloth or plastic.
- Ball: A ball is a round object used in various sports and games. It is usually made of rubber, leather, or plastic.
- Fall: Fall is a verb that means to drop or descend freely under the influence of gravity. It is also a season between summer and winter.
- Tally: Tally can be a verb or a noun. As a verb, it means to count or add up. As a noun, it refers to a record of a score or a count.
- Call: Call can be a noun or a verb. As a verb, it means to make a telephone call or to shout or cry out. As a noun, it refers to a telephone conversation.

Identifying the group:

Upon analyzing the words, we can see that four of them (doll, ball, fall, call) are related to objects or actions, while one word (tally) stands out as being related to counting or recording.

Conclusion:

Hence, the word that does not belong to the group is "tally" (option D), as it is the only word that does not fit the category of objects or actions.

Palak Sharma answered
To determine the group of four colors that are alike and the one color that does not belong to that group, let's analyze each color:

a) Brown
b) Green
c) Yellow
d) Red
e) Violet

To find the group, we should look for a common characteristic among the colors.

Brown, Green, Yellow, and Red are all colors that can be found in nature. They are commonly associated with objects or elements in the natural world. Brown is the color of soil, tree trunks, and many animal furs. Green is the color of grass, leaves, and plants. Yellow is the color of the sun, flowers, and some fruits. Red is the color of fire, blood, and many types of flowers.

On the other hand, Violet stands out as the odd color in this group. It is not commonly associated with natural elements and does not have the same natural connotations as the other colors. Violet is a color that is often associated with royalty, luxury, and creativity. It is not as commonly found in nature as the other colors mentioned.

Therefore, the color that does not belong to the group is Violet (option e).

Four of the following five are alike in a certain way and so form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group ?

  • b)
    Wax
  • c)
    Honey
  • d)
    Wool ​
  • e)
    Nylon
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:
  • Silk, Wool, and Cotton are natural fibers obtained from animals or plants.
  • Honey is a natural product derived from bees.
  • Nylon is a synthetic fiber, differentiating it from the other four natural materials.
Therefore, Nylon is the odd one out.

Aarav Menon answered
Grouping Similar Items: Explanation

The group of items that are alike in a certain way are bakery items, which are baked goods that are generally sweet. Bread, pastry, cake, and biscuits are all baked goods and are sweet or can be sweet. However, sweet is not a type of baked good, but rather a descriptor of taste. Therefore, option C, Sweet, does not belong to the group.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the answer to the question is option C, Sweet, as it does not belong to the group of bakery items that are alike in a certain way.

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Vertex Academy answered
Sentence, Paragraph, Letter, and Word are all tangible linguistic components used in writing and language construction.
  • Words are made up of letters.
  • Sentences are made up of words.
  • Paragraphs are made up of sentences.
Meaning, however, is an abstract concept derived from these components but is not a physical part of the language structure.
Thus, Meaning does not belong to the group because it is not a tangible linguistic unit like the others.

Puja Basu answered
Odd One Out

Triangle
- A triangle is the odd one out among the given options.
- Unlike the other shapes provided (rectangle, square, rhombus, and parallelogram), a triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles.
- The other shapes are quadrilaterals (four-sided polygons) while a triangle is a three-sided polygon.
- Therefore, the triangle does not fit the pattern of the other shapes listed.

Rectangle, Square, Rhombus, Parallelogram
- Rectangle, square, rhombus, and parallelogram are all quadrilaterals.
- They have four sides and four angles, making them similar in terms of their geometric properties.
- These shapes differ from a triangle, which has three sides.
Therefore, the odd one out among the given options is the triangle because it is the only shape that is not a quadrilateral.
